Just finished watching it! I loved it!

I saved it in my DRV. I just watched it. It was wonderful. Great casting.

I just finished watching it today, and I also loved it. I definately want to read the book now. Yes, the story was pretty tragic but I thought it was very beautfully told and I believe that all the actors did a great job in their roles...congrats to everyone who was involved with this stunning mini-series!

Love means nothing ...in tennis

" The whole deal with Angel, I don't get, he had a primiscuous affair but Tess forgave him and yet he can't get passed her ordeal, I mean the girl was raped for Pete's sake! "

you can´t judge it out of todays perspective - it was a terrible great thing with virginity in that time; similar like it´s still for religious fundamentalists today (christian, islamic, jewish - they all are inhuman hardliners). and it´s not very long ago, that raped women were endangered to be called guilty for provoking that crime, cause they WANTED "it" (and there are still people which believe that bullshet among "normal" (not religious fanatic) people. and rapers take that arguement to disburden themselves)


think about what angel´s father inculcates him: it´s no matter wether she´s poor or something else, but she MUST BE PURE. i think that angel´s maybe even an exception with his qualms about his own affaire, cause male sexuality was seen as different from female and young men were expected to "make their experiences".

i didn´t read the book yet, but as far as i know the author wrote it against that hypocrisy.
